Melbourne Courses

Course Structure

All Courses follow the same structure. In each session, we deconstruct one of my paintings - understanding and practicing all underlying techniques that bring it to life.

I begin with a demonstration of every technique required to create that painting, breaking it down step by step. You’ll then apply these techniques to paint the same artwork alongside me.

By the end of each class, you’ll not only have learned a complete painting but also developed a deeper appreciation for:

  • Technique – Practical watercolour skills and methods we use

  • Theory – How and why these techniques work together

  • Historical Context – the artists, movements and stories that inspire choice of subject matter

Each class blends hands-on painting with insight, connecting the act of making with the broader story of art.
